Souped up buggy leaves greens and heads for Qld border

WHEN Robert McIntyre and his "caddies" finish modifying their golf buggy, they are planning to turn the highways between Rockhampton and Killarney into fairways.

Robert, 65, and his pals - Larry Riley and Kerry Barnes - are shifting their sticks into forward to conquer the main and back roads between Rockhampton and Killarney on a nine-and-a-half horsepower golf buggy.

The Mt Morgan man's motivation is to raise money for Camp Quality. He says he wants to help others because he has some disabilities of his own.

Plus, he said he wanted to do something like this "before I putt out".
